My focus during this campaign is on 3 issues that we all care about whether democrat or republican.

our kids deserve clean,safe schools to attend

Our elderly and sickly

Our infrastructure, roads and bridges

Healthcare

We need to make sure that our elderly and sickly have access to quality healthcare. This means expanding medicaid so our mothers and fathers are able to receive the type of care they deserve. This is a moral issue, the good book says honor thy father and mother. Our elderly should not be having to choose between paying their bills, and or their healthcare needs.If elected i cant promise you'll always agree with what i do or even say but i can promise you that i will wake up everyday thinking about you and what you care about and what you need.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

It can be but not entirely. Sometimes fresh new blood is what is needed to reinvigorate the political process and get the wheels of progress churning

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Yes, its wise to build bridges with those across the isle in order to get things done. Divided government works best because it forces us to compromise and work to reach bipartisan solutions that our state faces.

No

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

Yes, my life experiences as a blue collar worker, white collar real estate investor, husband and father has taught me skills needed to be effective in leadership.

Lets work together"

Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Not yet but im sure they're coming and im welcome citizens of my district to let me hear their stories and concerns

Should the legislature oversee or grant the use of emergency powers?

Yes in extreme situations that should be allowed. Only when applicable
